   Stephanie Miller was shooting the wounded today, saying Talk America was loaded with people who had never done radio before, who were doing it to advance an agenda of their own, and that the company management knew nothing about radio when it started and then got dumber.

   The successful non-Air America liberal talk hosts and their staffs, according to Ms. Miller, are people who've been in radio, know how to do radio, know it has to be partly fun and funny, along with doing issues -- and will keep building their audiences.
